Abstract

This article examines the specifics of microclonal propagation of rare and endangered plant species found in the Ulytau region through the application of in vitro technologies.
Microclonal propagation is a progressive biotechnological method aimed at the conservation and reproduction of rare and specially protected plant species. In vitro technology enables the large-scale production of genetically uniform plants under laboratory conditions, which is particularly relevant for species with limited natural populations.

The analysis of literature sources allowed for the systematization of accumulated scientific experience related to microclonal propagation of rare plant species in Kazakhstan. As a result, the most effective propagation methods were identified. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that certain species remain insufficiently studied. The development of species-specific cultivation protocols and the improvement of ex vitro acclimatization methods are proposed as key directions for future research.
